Once you got all the components including the PCB. You can solder every component on the PCB that needs to be directly soldered to it. For a more detailed look on the PCB go to this page
Now it is time to start programming the PCB.
- Connect the FTDI to the PCB (Insert photo)
- Download the robot code
- Download & Install Visual Studio Code(VSC)
- Install the PlatformIO extension through VSC
- Make sure you have opened the extension
- Install the Fastled library for all projects
- Open the project you have downloaded from GitHub (PlatformIO will recognize it as a project)
- Build the project and make sure there are no errors
- Now you can upload the code to the PCB
The robot is made out of 3D prints.
